Guide:

Use Vidiotmaps printouts and hit every single explore badge whilst in SGmode.


It really is that simple.

I'm aure there is probably one out there somewhere but why not just go to Vidiotmap.com and work off of that? Each beacon requires you to access all the exploration badges in a zone and it is even possible to download a map overlay that adds those loaction to each map on game. Here is the link:

http://www.vidiotmaps.com/downloads.php

Not sure how new you are to all this so just let me add there are a total of 22 beacons available. Atlas Park, Galaxy City, Kings Row, Steel Canyon, Skyway, Faultline, Talos. Ind. Port, Striga, Croatoa, Brickstown, Founders Fall, Peregrine Island, The Hollows, Perez Park, Boomtown, Terra Volta, Dark Astoria, Creys Folly, Eden, the RWZ, and Pocket D. In order to obtain a beacon any member of the SG must access all the exploration badge markers in a zone...this can be accomplished even if they all ready have that badge simply by revisiting the spot. Supposedly any number of members can assist but years ago it was recommended that 1 member collect all the badges in a zone to ensure they are all accessed and the beacon earned. To speed things up you could have a beacon team and have 4, 5 or even more members working different zones until all beacons have been acquired. Just a note if you want the RWZ plan on participating in a Mothership raid since the last exploration badge is on the mothership, under the shields, and can only be acquired when a raid is taking place and those shields have been disabled. Good luck.

A point that cannot be stressed often enough is that even if the character already has one or more of the exploration badges, unless he/she/it goes back and touches them while in SG mode, they won't count.

And it doesn't have to be the same character for all the badges, even in the same zone. As soon as any member touches the badge while in SG mode, the SG now has the badge.
